Yesterday it was discovered that a female supervisor employed by FEMA has been fired after she advised both verbally and in writing in a chat group that their disaster relief teams should avoid homes with signs supporting former President Donald Trump while working in Florida in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton.
CNN writes that FEMA Administrator Deanne Criswell called the employee's actions quote "reprehensible" unquote. Deanne Criswell made a post on X in which she writes, among other things, quotes "This was reprehensible. I want to be clear to all of my employees and the American people, this type of behavior and action will not be tolerated at FEMA and we will hold people accountable if they violate these standards of conduct." unquote.
The problem is that if there is one activist who feels so confident in her employer's values that she even puts orders for actions in writing, there are bound to be more. Despite AP News, BBC, CBS News, CNN, FOX News, NBC News, PBS, The Telegraph, The Washington Post, USA Today and many more, both international and national news agencies covered the news yesterday, FEMA is guaranteed to find no more activists and news agencies will write nothing more about it.
With high probability, this can lead to further polarization as the activists may feel safer knowing that the media and their employers have their backs.
